The ISTE Standards, formerly known as the National Educational Technology Standards (NETS), are standards for the use of technology in teaching and learning (technology integration).[1] They are published by the International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE), a nonprofit membership association for educators focused on educational technology. They include the ISTE Standards for Students, which list skills and attitudes expected of students.[2] They also include the ISTE Standards for Educators, ISTE Standards for Administrators, ISTE Standards for Coaches and ISTE Standards for Computer Science Educators.
The ISTE Standards are designed to work with learning models such as Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK)[citation needed] and support the implementation of content-area standards, including the Common Core State Standards.[3] They are often affiliated with new approaches to education, including project-based learning,[4] blended learning, and the flipped classroom model.
